Have been below the radar for a bit. So low that I've been upside down in Kiwi land where some of my family live. I had a fabulous couple of months there and despite being surrounded by incredible scenery did very little art work. It's all simmering away in the brain though.
So now I'm back in the studio and searching for a new direction.
Having gone through my "dark period", not universally loved, I'm now exploring colour. I continue to love texture and general messiness.
The painting above, entitled "Raindrops keep Falling", was mostly executed during a very wet day on the north-west coast , and through the mucky window of a garage. A few finishing touches and it's now on the wall in Leakey's Bookshop and Cafe.
If you haven't been to Leakey's in Inverness yet, it's a great second hand bookshop that usually has a roaring fire in the woodburner. Perfect for this time of year, or indeed any other season in the Scottish Highlands.
